"I finally found out myself what Joss is planning...and I'm SURE as hell not gonna tell you guys...but I will tell you guys that the end of this season is going to be...very romantic...very heartbreaking...and you guys are probably going to HATE it". Has he signed on for a further season? "Contract wise...No...Personally....Yes"."

Higher up, same page: "Mission Impossible III: Pennsylvania's The Cosmopolite Herald indicates Marc Blucas (Riley from "Buffy") is amongst several young actors in talks with Tom Cruise for a key part in the next film, likely a younger relative of Ethan Hunt."

You've a right to your opinion, PunkyStar, but I respectfully disagree. I've yet to see any actor cast for either Buffy or Angel that has been a dud. Marc Blucas took the dialogue and stage direction given him and did an admirable job. I've noticed some fans of the series intermingle their appreciation or dissatisfaction of a given character with their appreciation or dissatisfaction of the actor portraying the role. From the college library to the helicopter, Blucas gave one hundred and ten percent. I for one don't see how we as fans deserve to ask for anything more.

So what do you think, what is that romantic thing James Marsters referred to that we are "probably gonna HATE"? Whedon can't stake Spike... It would be not only a disappointment but considering season 6 and what has been going on season 7 DECEPTION!!!

About the earlier rumours about Angel appearing on the finale... As a B/S shipper I sure do hope that he is not gonna make Buffy and Angel a couple-could it be any more boring?. If there would be second best option even I would go for Buffy/Angel but there isn't since I think Buffy and Spike belong together. Anyone?
